HAMILTON'S IDEAL. HAMILTON has earned a reputation for being different. Its styles, its manner of doing business, its attitude towards customers, its catalog—everything it does is marked with individuality. Of course there's a reason for this—a reason best explained by the fact that HAMILTON began as an exclusive Fifth Avenue retail shop where fashionable New York women might select their garments. Gradually HAMILTON'S fame spread out of town and a large suburban patronage was established. Later, when we started operations on a national basis, we decided that HAMILTON'S individuality should always remain the same. Even though we ship our distinctive styles throughout the country by mail, we were determined that our models should never be confused with the usual 'mail order merchandise.' As a result of this big ideal, though you live thousands of miles from New York, you have the opportunity to choose and wear—when Dame Fashion has pronounced them correct—the same things that New York's fashionable women are wearing. More than this, you may enjoy every service and convenience extended to our New York customers. Finally, you have the assurance that every HAMILTON garment may be had at big savings, often amounting to as much as $5. to $10., an economy made possible because you buy direct from the manufacturers at little more than wholesale prices. Remember, though you are absolutely safe when you order the photograph way, (an artist's sketch may exaggerate but the camera never lies) you have the added protection of our liberal guarantee. OUR GUARANTEE—We guarantee every garment to be exactly as represented. Return your purchase within 24 hours after receiving it and we will refund our money without question. When we say without question we mean exactly that. You are to be the judge as to whether or not you wish to keep the garment. HAMILTON GARMENT CO. 307 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY
